About Me

I am a 52 year old woman who has been having shoulder problems for about 1 year. Pain, stiffness, then it seemed all at once I couldn't raise my left arm. I don't recall any injury; and have been seeking treatment since October 2006. I have had a manipulation under general anesthesia, but still am unable to bring my arm around to my back, or to the opposite front pocket.
Now, November 2007, I have been diagnosed with breast cancer--infiltrating ductal carcinoma, grade II, and ductal carcinoma in situ, noncomedo type, nuclear grade II with associated calcifications. The largest focus of carcinoma measures 1.2 cm.
This is my journey.

Another great day!

Had to shovel the apron of the driveway to get out this morning. I'm on a main street, and it's also the "snow emergency route", so it gets plowed fairly soon. That plow stuff was over the entire apron, maybe a foot deep near the road, and onto the sidewalk. I only opened the end of the driveway so I could get out.

Had a fair work day.

Late morning, my hip started bothering me. Queasy, painful. Maybe spasming?? Tylenol and motrin, and an hour later still bothersome. I got an ice pack and sat with it for as long as I could. Never really went away, just let up some.

And of course, when I got home, I tried to get the rest of the snow off the driveway. Only an inch or so, and a lot of it was ice already. The neighbors on either side have snow blowers; someone had done the sidewalks and also cleaned up the apron of the driveway again. Thanks, Neighbors!!
